Pengaruh Pengurangan Jagung Sebagai Sumber Pati terhadap Laju Alir Pellet Pada Proses Produksi Berkesinambungan
ABSTRACT: This experience was
conducted to determine effect of reduction of maize as starch source on flow
rate of pellet in continuous production process. Design of the experiment used
was a completely randomized design with 3 treatments and 3 replicates. The data
is analyzed by using of ANOVA and if there is a significance among treatments
would tested using by contrast orthogonal. The variables observed were angle of
repose, loose bulk density, compacted bulk density, and flow rate. The results
showed that the reduction of maize as starch source did not give the
significant effect on the variable that observed. The analyzed angle of repose
showed variation 24.200 to 25.690, loose bulk density showed variation
621.6kg/m3 to 658kg/m3, compacted bulk density showed variation 668.3kg/m3 to
676.8kg/m3, and flow rate showed variation 449.69kg/minute to 491.41kg/minute.
Based on the result that the reduction of maize as starch source (corn,
sorghum, menir) did not give the significant effect on flow rate of pellet and
the pellet treatment with menir has the fastest pellet production time so
flowability pellet from pelleter to material hadling (bucket elevator) machine
is faster. As higher the values of flow rate, so the time of material movement
from bin to the package is shorter.
